In addition to announcing a series of future plans and the establishment of new institutions, Soshyan also held several large-scale meetings in the Governor's Spire on Naisen 5, convening representatives from all aspects of the hive city, mainly on how to protect the city residents. Basic issues of survival, health and work distribution were consulted and discussed in many aspects.
Although he has announced so many measures to benefit the people, Soshiyang has never been a blind idealist. He even knows very well that a manager who wants to be a "good person" often has to pay It was an extremely heavy representative. In fact, the bishop of the planet warned him tactfully. The bishop told Soshyan that the state church had always been doing the work of relieving civilians (of course Soshyan was quite suspicious of this matter), even if It's just cyclical, and it still requires an extremely huge expenditure.
Those are not millions of soldiers eating military rations, they are tens of billions of big mouths waiting to be fed. Even if they are temporarily satisfied, they will only ask for more in the future, and once it is reduced or stopped, they will He will become angrier and more violent than before.
The Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also expressed a similar view. He told Soshyan a lot of his truth from a management perspective-for example, only by keeping civilians in a state of semi-starvation can we do better. To manage them, only by depriving them of the ability to resist can we more easily suppress them when something goes wrong. Only by making them numb under heavy labor can they stop thinking wildly.
Some "smart" nobles even suggested that Soshyan should not waste precious food and supplies, but could appropriately increase the supply of alcohol or addictive drugs to the civilians so that they can survive in their short lives. You can occasionally enjoy the "Emperor's favor".
Soshiyang is not surprised at all by these remarks. In the empire, the difference between people is often greater than the difference between people and aliens. Many of these people who have gone to the nest have never stepped out of the protective wall for more than ten generations. They have become accustomed to living high in the clouds, and have never regarded the people below them as their own kind. Probably only when disasters and wars come, will they try to call out everyone's "human soul" and call on everyone to devote themselves to the emperor. ——
Similarly, Soshyan also elaborated on his point of view.
What he needs is not a scarred world full of slaves. What he needs is a highly developed industry and city that can provide stable resource output and high-quality soldier output, and is relatively stable. In this world, for possible military needs, it even has to be fortified and militarized to a certain extent, and every individual in the hive city needs to be included in the social mobilization system. This goal is absolutely unfeasible based on the current status quo.
Soshiyang stopped them with one sentence at that time -
"I want 10 million right now to be healthy, have a firm belief, have a certain level of knowledge, and be able to quickly learn to operate everything Soldiers who are equipped with light and heavy infantry equipment and need to face the most terrifying enemies and even demons on the front line, are you willing to hand over your children? ”
No one said anything then.
But this does not mean that Soshyan convinced them, but at least they understood the reason why Soshyan did this, and that was enough.
As for what to do specifically, Soshyan didn’t expect them to be able to tell them all.
Of course, Soshyan also understands that in order to turn ideas into reality, some compromises are always needed. When giving benefits to the civilians, these upper-class people who never let go of any benefits must not be left out, and even When it comes to giving civilians one point of benefits, they must also receive nine points of benefits, so that they will cooperate with Soshiyang's series of policies - although a group of people must be killed in the middle to scare the monkeys.
In short, when dealing with these vested interests, Soshyan still used the same method as during the expedition, with a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other.
So he also promised the upper management of Nessen 5 that in the future development process of the galaxy, they will also obtain part of the resource development rights. If a new hive city is established, they will also have priority opportunities to serve in various management positions in the hive city. At the same time, Officers of the newly formed army will also be selected first from various noble academies. This promise naturally allowed the upper echelons of Nessen 5 to calm down slightly due to Soshyan's series of shocking decisions, and they also understood the attitude and style of this prestigious Chapter Master Astartes. ——Not harsh but not easy to fool either, and he cares about the common people beyond comprehension, but he is not the kind of wandering idealist either.
On the second day after arriving at Naisen No. 5, Soshyan summoned a group of very special and inconspicuous people——
Teachers, principals, The head of the planetary education system and the patriarch of the state religion.
Whether it is Naisen No. 4 or Naisen No. 5, its education system basically inherits the most traditional model of the empire. On the one hand, it basically only covers the middle nest. On the other hand, the types and types of institutions it belongs to are very different. of many.
Taking Nessen-5 as an example, education in the entire galaxy is basically divided into four parts -
The first is the religious seminary system dominated by the state religion, which is the most common in the empire and one of the few that can radiate. In the education system of Xiachao, the theological schools of the state religion are established on a diocesan basis. The bishop of a diocese usually also serves as the dean of the seminary in the district. However, due to the heavy religious affairs, it is usually difficult for them to directly manage them. Therefore, it was born This position is usually held by the senior priest in the diocese and is often regarded as a necessary path to climb to the position of bishop, and the dean is the main administrator of the seminary.
Due to the strong financial support of the state church and the strong desire to preach, although there is chaos and poverty in Xiachao, the seminary will also be established in the diocese of Xiachao, which can be said to be an ordinary nest. There are very few places where people can get education, and the main role of this institution is naturally to cultivate loyal priests for the state religion and to continuously inject fresh blood into the bloated state religion.
Theological seminaries of the Anglican Church are usually divided into two parts, the seminary and the nunnery. The former mainly trains all kinds of clergy and missionaries, both men and women, while the latter only recruits women and mainly trains clerical nuns. , medical nuns and other non-combat nuns, the recruitment age of the two is basically the same, both are children between 7 and 10 years old.
In addition to religion, the education of the state religion also teaches Gothic, history, art, logic and other courses. Even for missionaries, it also teaches certain natural, astronomical, and scientific knowledge, and theological knowledge. The college does not charge any fees, and even food, clothing, housing and transportation are completely provided by the state education.
Of course, the price is that once you enter, you will be a part of the state religion for life, and you must endure an extremely harsh, rigid, and even abusive student life. In order to "hone your faith," seminaries often let students sleep without quilts. On a hard bed, and in temperatures close to zero, only cold water can be used for bathing. As for whippings and the like, it is commonplace. At the same time, tutors and nuns have absolute authority over students, and ordinary beatings and scoldings can hardly be called punishment. Some people even joked that the most consumed thing in seminaries is not scrolls but whips.
Theological seminary is not only an educational institution but also a religious place, and any mistakes may result in very severe punishment.
But even so, it is still a place that many people yearn for, especially for children who have left the nest. The seminary is basically the only place in their lives that can stay away from dirty factories. And the opportunity to work hard enough to drain a person's life. At least, being able to eat well, drink clean drinking water, and wear decent priestly robes is their most ideal life state.
But the seminary’s recruitment is equally strict. Any new student must be guaranteed by the chief priest of a church in the neighborhood. This is not an easy task. Often, such opportunities have long been provided by the neighborhood managers or other leaders. The brains were all divided. After all, for a family with some status, being able to send a child to a seminary also represents a very good opportunity.
